NSDAP Gau Thuring Badge

[Gefreiter]

I picked this badge up at a car boot for £2. It's fairly heavy for its size 28.9 gms and 5x4 cms. Non magnetic accept for pin. There are no markings on it. It is nothing like other Thuring badges I have seen and I am presuming it is a fake . I know little about Gau badges and would appreciate anyones advice.

Hi,

if you google "Gau Ehrenzeichen Thüringen" you´ll find loads of pics to compare.

Hinge & catch show that it's a post war piece produced by Rudolf Souval.
